Ok thank so much!!! You're basically weed santa aren't you @Pennywise

 

[Pennywise]

Nah but I have made a lot of mistakes! Lol

 

[Dutchman1990]

I would agree with Penny it looks like they are trying to cannibalize a lot of the fan leaves for the needed nutrients! Boost their feed and see how they respond.
Clones are looking good hope your doing well friend

Penny to the rescue
Yes, more food..
Look over your schedule and see how much and when you feed, since I see a trend of "same thing" in almost all of your ladies.

 

[Madkushy]

Thanks guys. You're right. I've been a little off with my feeding schedule. I was worried about them not needing water as often as in the growing stages and I switched from twice a week watering to once a week. The watering wasn't the problem obviously but it now meant that they only received nutrients every other weekend... clearly that was it.

I'll feed them with every watering now and see how it goes. Thanks so much guys!

Update: I can confirm that you guys were bang on the money. The 7 plants I watered and fed 2 days ago have all improved dramatically.

I took a risky decision on Girl Scout Cookie 1 and on OG kush 2. Both were still wet on Wednesday even though their leaves were the driest. With your knowledge I decided they could wait to dry out and not risk root rot. Today they're both dry so I've given them water with full strength nutes. 4 ml of grow, bloom and max with 2 liters of water. They're sleeping now so hopefully we'll see improvement soon. I hope I made the right call.

Meanwhile, here are some pictures of the beautiful nuggets growing on my dry girl. I'm sure she'll recover!

Also, as a general question to the whole community, do any of you use or recommend a good app as a grow journal? I lost my physical notebook and I think I'd be better at keeping track of the girls on my phone.

Any suggestions?

 

[Dutchman1990]

Looking good kushy and I’m glad feeding has improved the health! Shouldn’t be long till they are looking good again. The damaged leaves won’t come back but keeping them healthy from here on out will be helpful to you end hervest!

I used to use a notebook.

I tried an app called “budlabs” but didn’t find it worked well for me.

Now as you can see in my newest journal I’m documenting everything on here so I have reference and others do as well. It may not be suitable for you but I have found typing up my daily summary here with pictures has helped me improve my growing by visually seeing the changes as well as typing out what I did to address it!

Very good point Dutch. I'm only halfway through your epic journal but so far I'm very impressed. Maybe you're right and I should keep it up here. I do like taking pictures of them and sharing but hadn't considered sharing the technical stuff too.

I’ve seen you reading through my first journal! I’m glad your enjoying it so far I wasn’t the most detailed in that journal and I wasn’t as experienced so it shows through the grow. If you take a look at my new journal you can see how I am formatting my journal. It’s a benefit to the 420 community but also makes my life a lot easier to go back and look at pictures problems and ways I corrected these issues. This way I’ll have this info on here to reference come future grows or if anyone has a question I’ll be able to show them first hand how I dealt with that issue.

 

[Madkushy]

Happy last day of the year everyone! I'm spending my last day doing what I love most: tending to my plants. This is something I want to thank you all for.

As a way of saying thank you, here's pictures to show my progress. I'm going to be uploading detailed pictures of all 8 girls in flower, so bear with me.

I've checked with a magnifying glass for the trich things and they are all clear/transparent. The smell is starting to become overwhelming but in a good way. I wonder how much longer they will take before they start changing to milky.

With autos, what's the best ration milky / amber?
